FORMULA E returned to the streets of Paris this year, just a few hundred metres from our headquarters. The event took place in the shadow of the monuments around Les Invalides and also marked the European debut of a new project that brings together sport and mobility, FIA Smart Cities, which you can learn all about in this magazine. With the launch of F2, the path outlined by the Federation to guide young drivers as they progress towards the top in motor sport is now complete. To learn more about the various routes that exist, AUTO met some of the people that make it happen behind the scenes: managers, talent scouts and those who head up academies, more often than not these days set up by F1 teams. In the regular heritage section, we present two protagonists that have played a part in the history of sport on four wheels: four-times world rally champion Tommi Mäkinen and the Renault Alpine A110. These and many other interesting features can be found in this issue. However, you will have no doubt already spotted a change to the magazine. As we had previously announced, AUTO has a new look as of today, both in terms of its format and design. Our aim was to make it bigger and easier to read. I hope you like it and you are very welcome to send in your ideas and suggestions. Enjoy the read! facebook.com/fia twitter.com/fia Legal: © 2017 FIA. All rights reserved.
